Victoria Beckham has shared a rare insight into what her day-to-day life actually looks like behind closed doors.
The fashion designer, 52, appeared on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast to talk about her business empire and provided an insight into life in the Beckham household.
After being told there is a ‘fascination’ with her daily routine, Victoria gave a breakdown into what she gets up to while living in their £31.5million London townhouse.
Posh revealed the day starts with getting up and making their daughter Harper, 14, breakfast but her husband David ‘isn’t a morning person’.
Victoria revealed Harper joked her father was Anger from Inside Out and ‘grumpy’, while she was the character Joy.
She went on: ‘David does the school run. I go down to the gym. I do about a 45 minute workout. I lift weights for 45 minutes before David turns up. He then turns up and we do an hour together.’
While Emma was surprised by the lengthy time Victoria spent in the gym, Victoria replied: ‘Rather than focus on what I do, let’s look at David as the part-timer in the gym. We work out together.’

After her strict exercise regime, Victoria said she will then go to her office, which is 10 minutes away from their home.
She said: ‘I have an incredible team of people. I have an atelier and that’s where I go five days a week.’
Emma was again surprised Victoria was in the office so much as she asked: ‘You go five days a week?’
To which Victoria replied: ‘Yeah. I’m in the office five days a week and I don’t travel enormously.
‘I spend quite a bit of time in New York because my beauty business is based in New York and my fashion business is between London and Paris.
‘I’m in there every day because I have to be and I want to be. I have an incredible team of people.
‘It is so much more multi-faceted than I think most people would really recognise. I’m so heavily involved with every single aspect of what both businesses do.’
When she gets home after a long day, mother-of-four Victoria said she ‘wants to be the best mum I can be’.

Elsewhere in the interview, Victoria revealed Harper’s ‘really bad’ battle with acne has inspired the teen to launch her very own beauty brand
She said: ‘Communication is key. 6pm at night, every night, we always eat dinner together. We are quite a traditional family, more than people would recognise. Without even saying it, we’re not on our phones.
‘We’re all just talking about what’s happened during the day, being very close is really important to us.’
Elsewhere in the interview, Victoria revealed Harper’s ‘really bad’ battle with acne has inspired the teen to launch her very own beauty brand.
The teen is said to be launching her debut beauty range aimed at Gen Z and Gen Alpha, inspired by South Korean cosmetics, this summer. Read the full story here.
Back in October it was revealed that the Beckhams had trademarked the name HIKU BY Harper, putting the steps in motion for the upcoming beauty line.
Victoria explained: ‘She came to me two or three years ago and she was really struggling with her skin.
‘She used to have beautiful skin, but like all young girls she was enticed by beauty brands and she was putting a lot of product on her face that was not suitable for her skin and consequently ended up going to see a dermatologist because her skin was really, really bad.’
Victoria detailed her own battles with acne and said she could relate to her daughter’s struggles: ‘[Harper] said “I want to create a brand because I know what I want and I don’t want other people to have to go through what I have been through”‘.
Victoria said the ambitious teen even approached her with PowerPoint presentations in the early stages of getting her beauty line off the ground.
‘One [PowerPoint] about this brand that she wanted to create because she was struggling with her skin’, she said. ‘And the other one was a reason as to why I should let her have a perm’.
Victoria added: ‘I’m so proud of all my children, but you know Harper is very ambitious, she’s very appropriate but I don’t know what I expected to be honest.
‘I mean, she’s been sitting on my lap taking part in beauty development meetings ever since she was little.’
The business-savvy family have long protected the rights to their children’s names, with Victoria famously registering Harper’s name for use in a range of branded products, including make-up, toys and clothing when she was just five years old.
At the time, an intellectual property expert said it was unprecedented to trademark a child’s name because the move is usually reserved for those who are already celebrities.
